Bernie Sanders calls for a national day of rallies to defend health care from Trump: Jan 15

My prediction: Trump keeps Obamacare, but amends it so that is valid at precisely one hospital and one doctors surgery per state in the USA.

If you fall sick and only have ACA coverage, you have to travel ~8 hours in a private ambulance to reach the one state hospital that accepts you. When you get there you find it is grossly overcrowded so that you’re likely to die waiting for admission.

The end objective: Although everyone has Obamacare / ACA, it is totally ineffective as a means to access treatment.

The wealthy get to buy an additional private healthcare plan that gives access to the rest of the nations hospitals and that will provide access to treatment if you get sick.

They have a scheme like this in Brazil and it’s quite effective at making people buy both state and private health insurance.
